How to reinstall the Delphi 6 application?

I just got some images made by the artist of my Delphi Pro 6 application, which I will use to improve the look. The problem, of course, is that my application, like any other Delphi application, uses the VCL user control library, and these controls draw themselves and so often do not contribute to changing their appearance. I also actively use the open source JEDI JVCL library.

If anyone has a few tips, articles, web pages or anything that talks about working with an image in order to remake or remake the Delphi 6 application, I would appreciate it. This is a large application with tons of complex TFrame descendants and heavy use of JEDI VCL page control, so switching to a new component library is not practical.

One idea that I have not tried yet is to take each top-level form and put it in another TForm, changing the current property of the parent property to the new TForm and setting the AlphaBlend property of the current form so that it is transparent. Then I set up a new shell or TForm main background on an image containing a new look and feel to break through the transparent shape. This approach seems kind of kludgy, and I'm worried about resizing issues, but what method I'm interested in can be used.

Use a skin library such as VCLSkin or DevExpress skins.

I will be rude. Decoupling the user interface in an existing application is a tedious and sometimes complicated process. Payout occurs when you can freely change the interface with minimal changes to the logic behind it.
